A healthy serving
of dynamic dance will on the menu when Sacramento Black Art of Dance presents
Soul Food at California State University, Sacramento at 8 p.m., Feb. 11 to 14
and 18 to 21.

The program is an
homage to ground breaking choreographers of previous generations as well as the
influence of the music of “Soul Divas” – Aretha
Franklin, Nina Simone, Alicia Keyes – on the lexicon of dance. Soul
Foodis made up entirely of all-new concert dance pieces created under the direction
of CSUS professor Linda Goodrich. Choreographers Noah Hayes, James Atkinson,
James Wheatley and CSUS professor Paul Besaw along with S/BAD members Nathan
Jones, Marissa Williams and Nicole Manker have made creative contributions to
the program.

Soul Food is part of a continuing celebration of S/BAD’s 10th anniversary,
acknowledging the accomplishments of the past and setting the stage for the future.

The performances join a wide variety of on-campus activities commemorating Black
History Month. A complete schedule is available at www.csus.edu/events.
